Remembering James Dean (1931-1955)
This document provides biographical information about American actor James Dean. It discusses that Dean began his career in small Broadway theaters after studying drama in New York. His role in The Immoralist in 1954 led to a contract with Hollywood. There he starred in East of Eden directed by Elia Kazan in 1955. That same year he starred in Rebel Without a Cause directed by Nicholas Ray, portraying a misunderstood teenager. Shortly after he appeared in Giant directed by George Stevens, further establishing his image as a young maverick. This image and his opposition to the war, along with his tragic death in a car accident before the premiere of Giant, made him a symbol for his generation. The document includes several photos of Dean from

The counterculture and reform movements
The counterculture movement began in the late 1950s and early 1960s as a reaction against the conservative 1950s and the threat of nuclear war. Led by the Beat Generation in New York and San Francisco, the counterculture rejected materialism and experimented with jazz, drugs, sex, and Eastern religions through literary works like Howl by Allen Ginsberg and On the Road by Jack Kerouac. The movement influenced psychedelic art and music in the 1960s, with LSD being promoted by figures like Timothy Leary before being made illegal in 1966.

Presentation jointly by Nalaka Gunawardene, science writer, and S M Banduseela, science fiction translator, to Amazing Science Exhibition & Event in Colombo as part of the French Spring Festival.
‘Pulp magazines’ is a generic term for inexpensive magazines published in the United States from 1896 to the 1950s. They provided popular entertainment, especially before broadcast television became well established, and carried illustrated short stories and serialized stories in categories like adventure, travel, detective and science fiction.
This illustrated presentation will look at the role pulp magazines played in promoting science fiction writing and reading as part of 20th century popular culture. Many who later became mainstream writers, such as Robert A Heinlein, Arthur C Clarke, Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury first established themselves by writing to such publications.
In this talk, we look at how pulp science fiction inspired scientific discovery and innovation in areas as diverse as space exploration, computer science, robotics, evolution and materials science. We will also show part of a 2010 documentary titled ‘PULP FICTION: The Golden Age of Sci Fi, Fantasy and Advent’.
Media Codes and Conventions: Audience
This document discusses key concepts related to science fiction film audiences:
1) Films can target different audience segments defined by demographics (age, gender, etc.) or psychographics (attitudes and values). The "target audience" is the intended segment.
2) Some films appeal broadly ("mainstream") while others attract a smaller group ("niche").
3) Audience research involves understanding demographics and psychographics to design films that fulfill audiences' needs for entertainment, information, identity, and companionship (uses and gratifications theory).
4) Films offer "utopian solutions" that compensate for real-life lacks like intensity, energy, transparency, community, and abundance.

Diplomacy and Foreign Relations in the Social Media Age: By Nalaka Gunawarden...
I made this presentation on 14 November 2015 to students of the Certificate Course in Creative Diplomacy, conducted by the Regional Centre for Strategic Studies (RCSS) in Colombo, Sri Lanka – a think tank on international relations.
In this, I introduce and briefly explore the new kind of real-time, public diplomacy that is being ushered in with the spreading of social media. I show how diplomats and other government officials can no longer ignore this mass medium, but at the same time their traditional ways of communications need to be reoriented to suit the realities of this new information ecosystem that is informal, irreverent and fleeting.
As I spoke on the day after the ISIS terrorist attacks in France, I used (among others) the latest examples of how Gérard Araud, France’s Ambassador to the US, tweeted live as multiple terror attacks unfolded in Paris on Nov 13 night.
To see the bigger picture, I’ve distilled some wisdom of key researchers in this area including: Anne-Marie Slaughter, former Princeton Academic and ex-Director of Policy Planning, US State Department; Philip Seib, Professor of Journalism and Public Diplomacy, University of Southern California; and Ramesh Thakur, Professor, Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National University (ANU).
I dedicated this presentation to a diplomat and scholar whose mentoring I was privileged to receive 20 years ago: Dr Harlan Cleveland (1918 - 2008) who served as US Ambassador to NATO, 1965–1969 (Johnson Administration), and earlier as US Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs, 1961–1965 (Kennedy Administration).
Archetypes
The document discusses archetypes and the hero's journey as described by Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell. It outlines several archetypal heroic characters and stages of the hero's journey, including the call to adventure, initiation trials, and return with wisdom. Common elements found across stories involving the hero's journey are also listed, such as mystical guides, tests of strength, and symbolic death and rebirth.

Barthes codes theory
Roland Barthes was a French literary theorist and philosopher born in 1915 who developed the theory of codes in analyzing texts. He described a text as having no single structure or meaning, but rather being made up of a "galaxy of signifiers" that can be interpreted through different codes. Barthes identified five main codes that are woven into any narrative: the hermeneutic code, proairetic code, semantic code, symbolic code, and cultural code. These codes relate to mystery, tension, connotation, symbols, and cultural context.

Johnson was outnumbered and caught off guard despite his formidable strength and fighting skills. The kidnappers overpowered him, bundled him into a waiting vehicle. and sped away, leaving everyone on set in a state of shock and disbelief.

The Unbelievable Tale of Dwayne Johnson Kidnapping: A Riveting Saga
My movie
- 1. Film Narrative and analysis
- 2. Protagonists’ profiles Hero Villain Character name: Commander Johnson Played by: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Propp’s character role: The villain Archetypal role: the Chief Born into a family living in poverty, Johnson worked and fought to get to where he is now, as a result, he doesn’t let a single opportunity slip through his fingers and isn’t afriad to fight or intimidate his opponent to get what he wants. Character name: Mila Played by: Kristen Stewart Propp’s character role: The hero Archetypal role: the Professor, the Warrior Born into a peaceful society, she has sent her life exploring the forests, becoming in tune with nature, and learning how to become a warrior.
- 3. synopsis As a basic summary, storyline of my film goes as follows: On a planet inhabited by a utopian society that lives in harmony with their surrounding, humans land from Earth with the sole intention of collecting metals from the planet whilst ignoring the impact on the natives. The basic codes and conventions included in this film include advanced weaponry, spaceships and extra-terrestrial life forms. Also, like a typical fellow film in the sub-genre of action, my film does consist of action scenes that should keep the audience engaged. In a way, my film does include some traits seen in Avatar (James Cameron, 2012) in the sense that there is the same concept and some of Strauss’ binary oppositions feature in both my film and this one. My film has a few binary oppositions in it comprising of: Good (the Natives) vs Bad (the humans), the Population (the Natives) vs Business (the humans) and Utopia (the Natives’ society) vs Dystopia (the humans’ society)
- 4. analysis The main subject of my film is the humans’ colonisation and their insatiable need for natural resources. It presents humans as being destructive and selfish or at least having the potential to become this way. The issue being commented on (colonization and destruction of lands inhabited by other species) is one widely discussed in the world today as this is currently happening in places such as South America- deforestation is a present issue in this continent. Overall, the message is that we shouldn’t destroy other species 'way of life simply for our own selfish reasons. My movie is, in a way, a potential future for our race as in the film, the humans have exhausted their natural resources and so have resorted to stealing those from other planets; so this could be a future warning that we should heed.
- 5. Stages in the narrative Equilibrium Equilibrium Equilibrium During this stage, we learn that the Natives are a strong but peaceful people living on a foreign planet in a utopian society. The hero, Mila, is seen with her love interest and sidekick in a spectacular forest generated by special effects During this stage, a chain of events is set off, this leads to the climax of this movie (the battle). This, specifically, is when the humans capture one of the Natives and announce that they must leave. As a result, the battle eventually comes to be. After winning the battle, even the Natives have suffered heavy losses including the death of the love interest. Following the leave of Commander Johnson and his teams, the Natives (or ‘Others’ as they’re refferred to by the humans) must rebuild their society
